Hello everyone,

I use for some time Retropie v3.0 beta 3 and I would like to add new emulator for zx spectrum and make it default.
Retropie comes with two built-in emulators fbzx and fuse (default), but for me the best emulator “Unreal Speccy Portable” is not present.
I downloaded an emulator here https://bitbucket.org/djdron/unrealspeccyp/downloads/unreal-speccy-portable_0.0.64_rpi.zip

unpacked and put together with the others in /opt/retropie/emulators/usp
Then edited the emulator.cfg file in /opt/retropie/configs/zxspectrum adding a line usp=”/opt/retropie/emulator/usp/unreal_speccy_portable %ROM%” and set default =”usp”
Unfortunately, the emulator is not working when I started a game, just came back in emulationstation menu.
I also tried to make a script +Start USP.sh that will start the emulator manually from es menu (as uae4all for example) but this also failed, because obviously I’m not well-configured parameters.
The only way to start the emulator is to press F4 and go to the terminal, then manually change the emulator directory and start it with ./unreal_speccy_portable

Also, maybe I should set the es_systems.cfg file but did not know what.

Can someone help me set this emulator as the default, or at least that it can start from emulationstation menu and be able to use it comfortably as other emulators.
I exhausted my modest knowledge of retropie package and linux and I would like to solve this problem.
Sorry for my bad english, best regards.

Pi Model: 2B
RetroPie Version Used: 3.0 Beta 3
Built From: SD Image
USB Devices connected: joypad, wireless keyboard
Controller used: ps3 dualshock clone

I have the ControlBlock setup and wired.

2x 8Way Joysticks and 18 buttons wired (9 for each player), Sticks, buttons and microswitches come from X-Arcade

All the buttons work fine. I can play games like Sonic, Mario, etc..

When I try playing games like Street Fighter, it seems like the system doesn’t recognize rapid button presses.

Example 1: If you choose a player like EHodna or Blanka and rapidly press a punch button, they should do a special move, instead is like I’m just tapping the button.

Example 2: If I choose a player like Ryu/Ken and try to do a special move that involves dragging the controller quickly across multiple directions, it almost never works. It’s like I am just hitting each direction individually.

Is this a delay issue or limitation with the ControlBlock? Is there a setting anywhere to correct it? Or is it an issue with my Joystick/Buttons/Micro-switches?

Thanks.

Hello!

I try to configure my Logitech Dual action in RetroPie to work as I want it to.
But the more I google, the more confused I get. :)

What files should I edit? I have read about opt/retropie/configs/all and rom-specific folders.

I have figured out which button is which on my controller.

For example, my retroarch.cfg in NES-folder only includes:
#include “/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg”
# All settings made here will override the global settings for the current emulator core
input_remapping_directory = /opt/retropie/configs/nes/
video_shader = /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/phosphor.glslp
video_shader_enable = false
video_smooth = false

And if I edit my controller in a NES-game using RetroPie, it saves the file as fceumm_libretro.cfg.

Hope that anyone can help me. I’m very confused. :(

Hello!

Yesterday I bought a RPi2. Now I want to set up my controller.
I have had a RPi1 before, and set up my controller there, but I have forgotten how to do it. I remember that I edited my controller, but don’t know how.

I also edited some file then, to remove hotkey-function.

Hope anyone can help me. :)

Hi All,

I’m new to RetroPie and have just build & setup my system (retropie 3.0).

I’ve got a bunch of games working, but have hit a brick wall with trying to get hotkeys working so I can save my game state, and exit a game easily.

I’ve built an arcade cabinet, so am using sanwa joysticks and buttons via an ipac-2 (therefore using keyboard controls).

I’ve tried Floob’s suggestions and deleted all supplementary configs, but no luck. I’ve updated the Retroarch config file to what I think the hotkeys should be, but still no luck. (all the buttons/joysticks are working, but not the hotkeys).

I used to be able to exit a game easily by holding start1 (num1) and pressing start2 (num2) buttons, but after I tried changing the hotkey setup script to “2” it changed to ALT, and now I have no idea how to change it back.

Any help would be MOST appreciated~! Thanks in advance !

Hi,

I manage to configure my playstation 2 controller with a converter into the raspberry pie. The only problem that I’m having is that when I connect my gamecube controller with its usb converter the configuration file for the playstation gets erase. I try reconfiguring the playstation controller again with retroarch and both the gamecube and playstation retroarch files don’t get erase. I setup the hotkeys for my playstation and gamecube controllers, each on their individual files. For some odd reason only the playstation hotkeys work. When I connect only the gamecube controller it works but the hotkeys don’t work. When I connect the playstation controller the hotkeys and everything work. What is also weird is that I try different snes multiplayer games and only the playstation controller seems to work. If exit out and try only the gamecube controller it works, but if connect the playstation controller it recognizes the controller but it doesn’t work for the second player. The hotkeys for the gamecube controller don’t work regardless if I’m playing single player as the playstation controller do.
Any help will be appreciated thanks.
Also when I create the playstation file, the file says it has root permission when the others just say pie.
